Veerathamman Koil Street: in a state of persistent brokenness
The Hindu
Located in Jalladianpet, this street is part of a grid of roads providing connectivity between the IT Corridor and Tambaram Velachery Main Road
Veerathamman Koil Street which straddles Jalladianpet and Perumbakkam is persistently unmotorable, the road languishing in a state of brokenness due to successive waves of Chennai Metrowater-related work — installation of sewage lines first and then drinking water pipelines. And there is ongoing work.
John Paul, a resident of Casagrand Tranquil, points out that ever since his family moved into the community — which was one and half years ago — the road has been in this state, more muddy than bitumen-topped.
M. Mani, president, Casagrand Tranquil Owners Association, understands the limits to what could be done.
“As the work is still progressing, we cannot expect a proper bitumen-topped road right now; but it should be possible to level the road and make it reasonably motorable,” says Mani.
“We have made a representation about this to elected representatives, and are still waiting for some redemptive work to be carried out.”
Mani points out that the road falls in ward 191, Zone 14 of Greater Chennai Corporation.
A raft of gated communities are located on this road, and Mani notes the collective sigh of despair at the state of the road comes from Ram Sarovar Apartments, Isha Signature Villa, Ozone Green Apartments and India Bulls Apartments.
